Biography
Abigail Smith was born in Weymouth, Massachusetts in 1744, and she met John Adams when she was 15 years old. They married on 25 October 1764, and, in 12 years, she gave birth to six children, including future president John Quincy Adams. In April 1768, the family moved to Boston, and Adams moved his family to Braintree as he worked as a lawyer in Boston, hoping to protect them from any backlash from his work as a lawyer. Adams was a very intelligent woman who constantly supported and inspired her husband, and she was his First Lady from 1797 to 1801 during his presidency, having previously been Second Lady during Adams' tenure as Vice-President under President George Washington. With the relocation of the capital to Washington DC in 1800, Adams was the first First Lady to reside at the White House. She died in 1818 of typhoid fever at the age of 73.
